Nay� Seriously a $188.-Tablet . Yay: The Cherry Pad.

WorldWideTech. Francisco De Jes�s. Nov 1, 2010





Not kidding at all.  CherryPad : It's a 7-inch, Android 2.1�running tablet that weighs a little over a pound, has built-in WiFi, an 800-MHz processor, resistive touch screen, 2GB internal memory with a slot for more, and lots of the other trappings you'll find on much more expensive tablets.

The device, it's totally functional, and is faster and more responsive than  expected, but you're very much getting what you pay for�from the exposed screws to the resistive touch screen, there's none of the beauty and polish of a device like the Apple iPad (which the CherryPad's design essentially copies as much as possible). But if $188 is what you want to pay, the CherryPad might not be such a bad idea.
